How to use Instagram Map and set your location sharing preferences
Instagram has introduced a new feature called Instagram Map that allows users in the United States to share their most recent active location with others and discover location-based content. However, the platform emphasizes that location sharing is off by default. If you decide to turn on this feature, your location only updates when you open the app or have it running in the background, which means there won’t be continuous, real-time updates like Snap Map offers.
To access Instagram Map, go to your DMs (direct messages) and tap the “Map” option at the top. If you’re accessing the feature for the first time, you’ll likely see a pop-up message explaining that no one can see your location until you share it with them, and that you can change your settings anytime.
Once you’ve opened Instagram Map, you’ll be taken to a page labeled “Who can see your location.” Here, you have the option to share your location with either your Friends (followers you follow back), Close Friends, specific users, or no one at all.
